Special Olympics

Well yesterday I got to spend another great day at the Special Olympics with my son. If you have never gotten to spend anytime with these children you just don't know what you've been missing. Over the past few years I have gotten to know alot of these kids very well, and have grown to love them as my own. We take for granted manythings that these kids have to struggle with everyday of their lives. The main thing that I have learned that these children want and crave is simply for someone to show them that they are loved, and to be accepted. We had a great day. I laughed with joy at their excitement, and also cried with a heavy heart, to see some struggle so hard. If you have never volunteered to help in this, do yourself a big favor and get involved. It will bring you a life time of joy. TC.

I did three big special events for them as an organizer. We did an annual plane pull at the local Tyler Airport. We brought in a B-17 as a flying exhibit and they were charging folks $200 a ride to go up. The guys I worked with got together and got me a ride for free as a thanks for helping out with the event. Best thank-you I ever got. The athletes are lovely folks and they never forget you. I still see them around town and they always come over to say "Hi!".
